Edwin Black's first book was The Transfer Agreement, which documented how the Zionists of Jewish Palestine broke the worldwide boycott of Nazi Germany in exchange for the transfer of 60,000 Jews (and their assets) to Palestine.

During the 1990s, Edwin Black was the editor and publisher of OS/2 Professional magazine, which was bitterly critical of IBM's failure to effectively market and sell OS/2. OS/2 Professional was closed down in 1996.

In 1999, Black published Format C:, a 'techno-thriller'.

In 2001, Black published IBM and the Holocaust, which alleged complicity between IBM and the government of Nazi Germany.
